Abstract

Intergenerational relationship is understood as the interaction, cooperation and exchange between people of different age groups. It is essential in an ever-growing compartmentalised society. The intergenerational programmes developed in school settings aim to reduce the gap among generations fostering positive ties facilitating contact between students and elders. This paper aims to analyse whether the participation in an intergenerational programme, “Sharing Childhood”, affects students and elders’ attitudes towards each other and towards ageing. To this end, a pre-test post-test research design with quasi-experimental and control groups was implemented. 274 students, from three primary education schools and 40 elders participated in the study. The results show that the programme seems to have a positive effect on the participating students, resulting in an enhancement in personal attitudes towards elders and their perception of elder’s sociability. Likewise, the programme seems to enhance the scores of the elders regarding their ageing expectations and the elder’s capacity. However, it does not seem to have an effect on their personal attitudes towards children, among others.
